Let's try to find out what causes the disease. If you look inside the vein while walking with the help of the "miracle scanner", you can see that there is a valve inside the vein, the blood is pushed up, the muscles contract and the veins contract. Then the valves close and the blood doesn't flow back. That's how veins work.
Veins are unique vessels because they have valves, while arteries do not have valves.
When we are without movement for a long time, the muscles do not contract under the force of gravity, the blood constantly presses,valves dilate and failure occurs.
At that moment, when insufficiency appears, the vessels gradually dilate and varicose veins appear.
Many people think that with mild symptoms of the disease, you should not rush to the doctor. So, with early stage varicose veins, when spider veins appear on the legs, or if small tubercles appear, but there is no swelling in the legs, pain in the lower extremities at the end of the day and the situation interferes only aesthetically, there is no threat to health.
At this stage, treatment at home is still possible.
All other situations require a visit to the doctor. This can be symptomatic varicose veins, skin pigmentation and burning along the veins, night cramps, and swelling at night.
